On Monday the court released a decision on education policy for minorities. But, the high court chose not to give a final ruling on the policy known as affirmative action.
The case involves a young white woman, Abigail Fisher, who was rejected by the University of Texas. Her lawyers argued that universities should not be permitted to consider race when trying to accept a diverse class of students. They said that considering someone's race in the admissions process violates their constitutional right to equal protection under the law.
Seven of the nine justices voted to return the case to a lower court saying it had not fully studied the university's actions.
Opponents praised the Supreme Court for ordering the lower court to enforce a narrower version of the school's affirmative action plan. Civil rights activists welcomed the decision because it did not cancel the policy.美国联邦最高法院本周审理了三个主要的涉权案件。
周一，最高法院对涉及少数族裔教育政策一案作出判决，但回避了对众所周知的“平权法案”作出最终裁定。
该案中，白人女生阿比盖尔·费舍尔申请德克萨斯大学被拒。大学在努力接受多元化的学生群体时，不应考虑种族因素。他们认为，把种族因素考虑在内的招生政策，违反了宪法赋予他们享受平等保护的权利。
最高法院的9名大法官以7票通过裁定，将案件发回下级法院审理，称下级法院未能完全审查学校的行为。
（平权法案的）反对者对最高法院命令下级法院执行狭义版本的平权法案的决定表示肯定，而民权运动人士对高院并未取消该法案也表示欢迎。
